The International Submarine Engineering (ISE) and the Defense Research Establishment Atlantic (DREA) of the Canadian Department of National Defense have worked together to develop a large autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for laying fiber-optic cables in ice covered waters. The vehicle, named Theseus, was designed to lay up to 220 kilometers of fiber-optic cable from a site near the shore of Ellesmere Island in the Canadian Arctic islands to a scientific acoustic array in the Arctic Ocean about 200 kilometers from the shore. The development and a complete description of the mechanical systems in the vehicle are described.
